hello
Can anybody help me interpret my January results. Since then my meds have been lowered from 150mg to 125mg. New bloods will be done next week to check lower dose.
These are January results
Test Result Ref. Range (Units)
TSH * <0.01 0.35 - 5.00 mU/L (mU/L)
Free T4 16.1 9.0 - 21.0 pmol/L (pmol/L) Total
T3 looks like they didn’t test
How do you feel
Did you feel over medicated on 150mcg?
ALWAYS test thyroid levels early morning ideally just before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
Only drink water between waking up and blood test. Take levothyroxine immediately after blood test done
Just testing TSH and Ft4 is completely inadequate
You need TSH, Ft4 and Ft3 tested
When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested
Looking at previous posts you had absolutely dire B12 result last year
Are you now getting B12 injections regularly
Did GP test for Pernicious Anaemia
Essential to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least annually
Thousands of U.K. thyroid patients test privately to make progress
thank you for the reply. I’m going this week for bloods and to see gp. I’m going to ask for everything. Not resolved b12 as they said I had to wait 3 months to be tested again. I noticed t3 was missing and don’t know why.
On 150mg I felt wired and very anxious. Feel a bit more normal on 125mg, but still not fabulous
I’m in Scotland and don’t know where to get private testing done .
all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
We must have good vitamin levels for good conversion of Ft4 (levothyroxine) to Ft3 (active hormone)
Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins
